…ich beginne mal in deutsch…
Ja, wollte mir Karlstein schon immer mal aus der Nähe (vom Boden aus) ansehen. War schwer beeindruckt, wie man so ein doch nicht ganz kleines Bauwerk so clever verstecken kann - und doch mit guter Straßen- und Flußanbindung. Respekt, der 4. Karl war schon ein ausgeschlafenes Bürschchen. Als vorübergehendes Versteck für seine Reichskleinodien ideal gelegen. Einen Tresor stellt man ja auch nicht nachts mitten auf den Marktplatz…Und wie schwer sowas wieder von “Findern” zurückzubekommen ist sehen wir ja am Beispiel Nürnberg/Wien´s in der jüngeren Geschichte (wen´s interessiert) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichskleinodien

Die Form der Kernburg hat mich etwas an den Trifels erinnert, die versteckte Lage an Burg Eltz. Die wurde ebenfalls selten gefunden und ist wohl deshalb nie zerstört worden. So märchentypisch stellen sich wohl die meisten romantisch veranlagten Leute das Mittelalter vor. Ein Tipp, wenn ihr mal in der Nähe der Mosel (nahe Moselkern) unterwegs seid…

Also, mal abgesehen von unserem Sponsorship für´s Spiel, allein das ganze “Drumherum” der letzten 2 Jahre und was wir so alles gelernt haben über diese Zeit, die Verbindungen und Bedeutungen der Reichsstädte und die geschichtlichen Zusammenhänge - war´s wirklich wert, ne? Danke, Warhorse!

… I start times in German …
Yes, I wanted Karlstein ever want from nearby (from the ground). Was very impressed how to hide a not altogether small building so clever so - and yet with good road and river-access. Respect, the 4th Karl was already a sly fox. As temporary hiding place for his Reichskleinodien ideally located. A vault is not is so even at night in the middle of the market square … And how hard is something again regain of “finders” we see indeed the example of Nuremberg / Vienna’s in recent history (who´s interested)

The shape of the core castle reminded me somewhat of the Trifels, the hidden location of Burg Eltz. The was also rarely found and was probably therefore never destroyed. So fairy typically provide probably the most romantically inclined people in the Middle Ages before. A tip if you ever near the Mosel (near Moselkern) are traveling …

So, apart from our Sponsorship for the game, this time, the connections and meanings of the imperial cities and the historical context alone the whole “trappings” of the last 2 years and what we have learned anything so - was it really worth, no? Thank you, Warhorse!

Maybe at Libusin?

Yep that the possibility

We will be at Libusin for sure, but I am not sure if this is the right place for a bigger community event, it is a bit difficult to go there and there are no hotels or something where you could stay.

And I thought you’d say damn, now we have to go on vacation to Barcelona :wink:
